NT4 to Active Directory Domain/Site Migration



I am performing a NT4 domain consolidation into an existing domain
(Company.Int) the NT4 domain will be a Child of the existing AD Domain
(NT4.Company.Int). We are move the office from an existing client site
to our own office and taking over network administration. We have
created a BDC, of the client's domain, as a life boat and promoted it
to PDC, then installed AD on the system. We then installed the real
domain controller on the test network and promoted it to domain
controller and transferred the roles.

My question is how will the workstations react to the AD Domain after
being pulled from the client site? They will be installed in an
entirely new network (with new IP Scheme) connecting to the same Domain
(except it's AD and not NT4). Is there anything from this process that
I should be concerned about?

My thought is that they should come up and see the NetBios Domain the
same as the old and using SID history properly recognize the Network.
The User and Computer Accounts from the old NT4 Domain are present in
the ADUC Console. If a user logins in it should have the same profile
as before correct?

Just looking for someone to check my work. Thanks!
